Fashion Constructed Image: Concept and Ideas

At the beginning of this project we were given a choice of several starting point from which we could begin developing a concept for our projects; for example, film noir. We decided as a group to chose Folk Lore and Fairy tales. We began brainstorming folk lore and fairy tales, thinking about the stories we remember from childhood and researching the less known stories too. 
After, as a group, taking a journey through brainstorming and researching fairy tales and folk lore throughout history to the modern day. As a group we came to a conclusion of the following concept, which of course as any concept does altered, improved and sacrificed throughout the project when needed. 
We took the 14th century story of Little Red Riding Hood and decided to bring it forward into the 21st Century but following the original path of the story which after researching turned out the be a lot more explicit than we remembered it being as children. Also after research we realized that this story had a lot more layers than seen on the surface and therefore we took a lot of the story away leaving a much more accessible story that was easier for us to transform into our own, for example we decided to use only two characters in our portrayal of the story which we 'Red' and 'Wolf'. We also changed the sexes of our two characters, Red becoming and boy and the Wolf being a woman. the characterization stayed the same however, we kept Little Red and a very naive young boy and the Wolf became an older woman but we kept her as a hunter, and predator. The main thing about our concept that became the most important to our group was, from the set to the characterization it was extremely important to keep the the original story whilst twisting and changing it to make it our own, and ultimately creating our own story.
